About The Role

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, you’ll do meaningful work that makes a positive global impact. Join our colleagues in bringing our Mission to life every single day to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. With industry-leading R&D investment, we empower our teams to solve complex scientific challenges—from environmental protection to advancing healthcare and cancer research.

As a Staff AI/ML Engineer, Applied AI, you will provide hands-on technical leadership across the design, development, evaluation, and production deployment of advanced AI/ML solutions. You will architect and build machine learning and deep learning models, Large Language Model (LLM) applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, and agentic workflows that drive business insights, enhance scientific workflows, and improve customer experiences. You will work across the AI/ML lifecycle – from ideation, research, and experimentation through data engineering, model development and optimization, evaluation, performance tuning and deployment. Partnering closely with data scientists, software engineers, product teams and scientific stakeholders, you will translate complex business and scientific needs into scalable, reliable, and impactful AI/ML capabilities.

This is a deeply hands-on individual contributor role with significant technical leadership responsibilities. You’ll also mentor engineers, influence platform strategy, and ensure AI-driven systems are accurate through consistent evaluation frameworks, engineering standards and technical best practices. A successful candidate in this role is expected to collaborate effectively with the broader teams, and consistently deliver well-architected, scalable, secure, production-grade AI and Generative AI features supporting a variety of use cases and scientific products, with measurable impact on scientific workflows, customer outcomes and innovation velocity.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead activities across the AI/ML lifecycle – from ideation, research, data engineering, model development and optimization, evaluation, performance tuning and deployment, while continuously engaging customers to gather feedback and incorporate it into solution development.
• Iteratively develop, deploy and scale AI/ML models and solutions across life sciences, genomics, material sciences, and healthcare.
• Provide technical leadership for AI/ML models, platforms, and solutions, including defining reference model and system architectures, software design standards, reusable patterns, and best practices for AI and Generative AI solutions.
• Champion an evaluation-driven approach to AI/ML solution development, establishing rigorous evaluation practices and promoting their consistent adoption across the organization.
• Build and deploy LLM-powered services using Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI-compatible APIs.
• Architect and implement agentic AI and RAG workflows, including data ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector search, retrieval, tool calling, memory, and prompt engineering.
• Design, develop, and integrate Generative AI systems using LangChain and LangGraph for agentic workflows and orchestration.
• Integrate AI/Generative AI capabilities into enterprise platforms, scientific applications and end-to-end workflows.
• Mentor and guide engineers across the AI/ML lifecycle, including model development, evaluation, and implementation of AI solutions.
• Actively participate in Communities of Practice, influencing engineering standards and AI/Generative AI adoption strategies across the organization.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders through clear documentation, architecture diagrams and design reviews.
• Stay current with advancements in AI/ML, Generative AI, agentic frameworks, and LLM ecosystems, and apply relevant innovations to enhance internal tools, scientific solutions and customer-facing products.
  
  

• Master’s degree in AI/ML, computer science, statistics, engineering, or a related technical field. Ph.D. degree preferred.
• 10+ years of industry experience in software engineering and developing AI/ML solutions, with a strong track record of shipping AI/ML solutions into real production systems in a robust experimentation framework, not just offline analyses or research prototypes.
• 5+ years of experience working in agile/scrum environments.
• Hands-on experience in developing and applying AI techniques and algorithms, including deep learning, CNNs, decision trees, clustering, ensembles, and related approaches, with demonstrated experience deploying them into real production systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch, C++, C#, and other relevant programming languages and frameworks.
• Strong data engineering skills, including ETL/data pipelines and large-scale data processing and analysis using tools such as Pandas and NumPy.
• Hands-on experience developing production-grade retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic AI solutions, including embeddings, retrieval, vector search, tool calling, prompt engineering, orchestration, and evaluation.
• Experience with LangChain and LangGraph for LLM orchestration and agentic workflows.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging AI coding assistants or agents as part of your engineering workflow.
• Proven ability to work closely with backend, platform, and application engineers on model serving, pipeline architecture, deployment infrastructure, and production integration with sound judgement in balancing scope, quality, and speed to delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• Experience in people mentorship and supervision.
• Flexibility and adaptability to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
• Preferred: Hands-on experience developing and deploying AI/ML models and solutions for life sciences, genomics, materials sciences, healthcare, or other regulatory settings.
• Preferred: Experience with MLOps or LLMOps concepts including deployment, monitoring, orchestration, observability, and model lifecycle management.
• Preferred: Experience applying AI/ML models and methods to computational biology.
• Preferred: Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS or GCP.
